A few days ago, we noted that HIV/AIDS is exempted from the pandemic control measures proposed in Bill S2028. While isolation and quarantine of carriers may not apply, testing and closing dangerous venues would certainly be reasonable.
HIV/AIDS is clearly a "disease or condition dangerous to the public health."
We suggested that the Department of Public Health might consider closing down such venues as the Ramrod Bar in Boston. Mandatory HIV testing has even been called for by the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York.* And wouldn't it be great if it were possible to ban web sites such as ManHunt.net? (Yeah, we know that policing the Internet is impossible.)
Consider these suggestions (hardly novel, but clearly non-PC) in light of the recent CDC report that homosexual and bisexual men are more than 50 times more likely to have HIV.
See Peter LaBarbera (AFTAH.org):
Homosexual, Bisexual Men 50 Times More Likely to Have HIV: CDC
So why won’t the government move to close down “gay” sex clubs and teach about the special dangers of homosexual sex in schools?
So much for gay “equality.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — the U.S. government agency tasked with guarding Americans’ health — has finally put a number on the massively increased HIV risk associated with
The issue in this ongoing “culture war” is not the cause of homosexual “orientation” — or merely the legality of “same-sex marriage.” It’s homosexual behavior itself — and whether government should promote it or discourage it, or be neutral. I say discourage it, since the evidence keeps pouring in that conduct which has been proscribed as immoral down through centuries of Judeo-Christian tradition is also highly dangerous. Now if the CDC will only stop blabbering on about “homophobia” and start telling the truth — that the rectum is not a sexual organ, after all, and that we must take tough measures against “gay” promiscuity — America will become a healthier place.
See also the D.C. homosexual newspaper, Washington Blade article (8/28/09). Excerpt:
While the CDC data has continually reported gay and bisexual men and other MSM of all races as the groups with the highest numbers of new HIV cases each year, AIDS activists said this was the first time the CDC clearly stated with a concrete rate how the disease is impacting gay and bisexual men. Gay and bisexual men are also the only risk group in which new infections are increasing.
